Nowhere else on earth is quite like the Big Island. Sprawling over 4,000 square miles, it is the largest island of Hawaii�nearly twice as large as all the other Hawaiian islands combined. The Big Island of Hawaii is also one of the most climatically diverse places on earth, with cascading waterfalls thousands of feet high, lush rainforests, snow-capped peaks, and Kilauea, the world�s most active volcano, which you have to see to believe.
This extraordinary island is truly bursting with life and there�s no better way to witness its beauty and majesty than from the sky! Our Big Island helicopter tours take you on epic sightseeing adventures�from the steep coastal cliffs and ancient settlements of the Waipio Valley to the jaw-dropping lava fields of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
An authentic Hawaiian experience that you won�t soon forget. |

| The trip begins mid-afternoon with a pick-up at one of our central locations in Kailua Kona or at the Queen�s Marketplace (Waikoloa) or at the Jct. of Hwy 190 and Daniel K. Inouye Hwy. As we drive up the mountain, we learn about island geography, geology and natural history.
While acclimatizing and dining at the Mauna Kea visitors center , you�ll find out why the world�s largest telescopes are located on this spot. And you�ll learn a bit about the lives of astronomers who work there. Before leaving the visitors center we issue parkas and gloves (the warmest available) and engage our four wheel drive for the steep 1/2 hour drive to the summit area.
On the summit, your guide will point out the observatories as they begin to open and rotate into position. You�ll learn about famous observatories such as Keck, Subaru and Gemini. There is plenty of time for photos while the sunset transforms the area into a beautiful and quite unearthly spectacle. When the best of the color has past, we descend to mid-mountain, where the sky is equally clear but the climate and air density is much more comfortable for stargazing.
Almost every night we explore the night sky using our large portable telescopes*. Using high power green lasers our guides are famous for their ability to locate the treasures of the night sky and interpret them in a way that everyone can understand. Midway in the evening we serve hot drinks and cookies to help take the chill off . The tour is 7-8 1/2 hours in duration depending on where you join it. The actual schedule of the trip varies throughout the year according to sunset times.
*The Stargazing component of our adventure depends on natural conditions. Although more than 90% of our trips have fine stargazing conditions; MKSA does not guarantee the weather in any way.
